The European biocides directive (98/8/EG) demand the control of emissions into the envi-ronment like soil, water and air. In this study a method for measuring the input of biocides into the indoor air from materials should be developed. The emission of two products containing biocides (plastic foil, wool carpet) and six different types of biocide containing formulations applied on wood or ceramic tiles were investigated in 20 or 23 l glass emission chambers. Each chamber test was performed over a period of 100 up to 200 days. SVOC show totally different emission curves in chamber tests compared to volatile organic com-pounds (VOC). They reach their maximum value after some days or weeks. Thus a period of 3 months is sometimes necessary for exact measurements. Area specific emission rates (SERa in µg/m²h) for permethrin (0.006), propiconazole (0.2), dichlofluanid (1.5), tolylfluanid (1.2), octylisothiazolinone (2.5) and for iodpropinylbutyl-carbamat (1.7) were determined.
Biocides are used to protect materials that might be damaged by fungal, microbial or insect activity. The aim of this study is to develop a method for the measurement of these organic compounds, which generally have low or moderate vapor pressures. The biocides considered in this study are permethrin, dichlofluanid, tolylfluanid, iodpropinylbutylcarbamat, octylisothiazolinone, tebuconazole and propiconazole. The emission from two commercial products (plastic foil, wool carpet) containing biocides and of seven types of biocidal formulations applied to wood or clay tiles were investigated in 20-l glass emission test chambers. Each chamber test was performed over a period of 100200 days, and one investigation was conducted over several years. Compared to volatile organic compounds, low-volatility compounds show totally different emission curves in chamber tests; maximal emission values may be reached in days or weeks. A period of 3 months is sometimes necessary for the determination of area-specific emission rates (SERa's). The SERa's (?g m-2 h-1) from biocide-containing products were determined for permethrin (0.006), propiconazole (0.3), dichlofluanid (2.0), tolylfluanid (1.0), octylisothiazolinone (2.5) and iodpropinylbutylcarbamat (2). In most cases, the SERa stayed at its maximum value or declined slowly over the test period. Additionally, a chamber test begun in 1994 with a piece of wood treated with a typical mixture of biocides dissolved in a technical solvent was continued. SERa's (?g m-2 h-1) for dichlofluanid (0.20), tebuconazole (0.49) and permethrin (0.08) remained detectable after the period of nearly 9 years during which the sample remained continuously in the chamber. This test proved the very slow decrease of emission of low-volatility compounds like permethrin and tebuconazole.

Vor dem Hintergrund der notwendigen Revision der Kriterien zur Vergabe des Gütezeichens "Blauer Engel" für Laserdrucker, Kopierer und Multifunktionsgeräte mussten auch die Prüfmethoden angepasst werden, da die alten Verfahren nicht mehr die heutigen Anforderungen der Emissionsmessung erfüllen. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde auch das unterschiedliche Emissionsverhalten von Hardcopy-Geräten auf Grund der verschiedenen und nicht miteinander vergleichbaren Prüfverfahren heftig diskutiert. Aus diesen Gründen wurde ein neues Prüfverfahren entwickelt, mit dem eine verlässliche und reproduzierbare Prüfung der Emissionsraten von Staub, Ozon und flüchtiger organischer Verbindungen auf der Basis des ECMA (European Computer Manufacturer Association) Standards 328 möglich ist. Dazu wurden neun verschiedene Geräte unter verschiedenen Bedingungen untersucht. Als ein Ergebnis dieser Studie wurden neue Kriterien zur Vergabe des "Blauen Engels" für Kopierer, Drucker und Multifunktionsgeräte festgelegt.
